As a jewelry designer I have always been intrigued and challenged by making odd settings for stones. With this series I searched for a new way to highlight and complement interestingly cut gemstones.

​

The series of single pieces focusses on the design of the stone setting.

 

The forms of the gems are traced in sheet. Highlighting the shape of the stones and at the same time taking into account their needs; light transmitting, their hardness and specific fragilities, they are build with a certain straightforward simplicity - creating powerful designs.

​

All pieces are sculpted by hand with a unique nude and raw texture created by the cast of wax. The settings come back in various pieces and combinations.
